Is anyone else enjoying (???!!!) the latest round of ice/sleet/snow we're getting this a.m.? (I think it's headed to you, Pat, if it's not there already) I am just praying that the weather people are wrong, because they're expecting power failures statewide tonight because of ice...

It was as I feared. Her kidneys were too far gone. So I made the painful decision; Persia went to the bridge this afternoon. The vet gave me a little heart shaped stone "memory box" with some of her fur in it. She will be cremated and her ashes returned to me. Heartfelt thanks to all of you...

Stinky is not well-- he is pretty much back to where he was before I started subQ with him. He is sleeping a lot, and not eating or grooming. I am going to try to get him in to see the vet-- meanwhile, we would both so appreciate your purrs. He was sitting in my lap last night, and I just...

Top of the list has to be Trouble. I didn't give Trouble her name. Hubby did. Or maybe she gave it to herself. She certainly earned it. The night we found her it took about two hours to catch her, one hour to research how to make kitten formula, another hour to go to a store for ingredients,...

OK - as you all know, I have 4 kittens that I will be adopting out, with the help of a local rescue agency. I was wondering if any of you have any sort of Adoption Contract? One that I could maybe use and/or modify to fit my specifics? I don't want these kittens to go to just anyone, and I want...

The night before we became Pepper's family,s he was given a bath by the people who rescued her to get rid of most of her fleas. She certainly didn't have very many when we picked her up, but to be certain, we stopped on the way home and picked up some flea drops (for the back of the neck) from...

Saturday, the mother cat returned her kittens to the barn. My daughter found them and was able to scoop all four up and take them into the house, where they promptly went under the dresser in the kitten room. Buddy, their brother, who had been enjoying the life of a pampered cat was surprised when...

I have just brought home a blue tick hound that someone dumped a week ago at the rest area. The kids that work there are, retarded for the most part. By the time I got there, the dog was so hyper. I got her to the TED and she is not chipped. He was too busy to mess with her today so wouldn't...

One of my little semi-ferals is seeing TED today. She went off her regular food a day or so ago, but was eating beef baby food. Today she wouldn't eat even that. Bush Baby is a little over a year old, and she's no bigger than a 6 month old kitten. This came on really fast, and I'm hoping...

I wanted to ask a question on the health+behav group but there are no articles. Has everyone left that group? Maybe someone here can help me. I'm looking for a product, so I'm not whether people outside this country can help, but here goes: I need a UV light. (Or is it a black light? Are they...

Yours truly is back in town and missing the cat terribly, but at least I can talk about them to you guys. Over 800 messages to read, so purrs and good vibes all around first. If you just want to go straight to the pics without reading my long-winded commentary, they're...

http://tinyurl.com/2elfl BILLINGS, Mont. -- Billings firefighters usually don't do pet rescues, but Battalion Chief Tim Bergstrom said they agreed to respond to the pleas of a city resident whose cat had a litter of kittens in a tree. The woman called a veterinarian for advice, and he confirmed...

When our kitties decide to "become bad" and "get" us, we know that they usually turn sideways and hunch up, or as my friend calls it, becoming a "witch kitty". Then they will likely run and paw at us, then dash off into the other room, daring us to follow, at our peril. Well, my big 19-pound...

I have discovered that putting someone in KF does no good, they just keep showing on other posts of people I read. I just wish we could drop some of the stuff and move on back to our "family" type caring. Yeah, I know old lady wants harmony and life isn't like that.

Since returning from France there's been a visitor to Chateau Simmons. One that is not welcome according to the feline residents - especially according to Waffles. It's a lilac tortie point (I think) siamese, intact male. As the doors & windows are left open when we are in, so that Waffles, Francis...

I actually went out yesterday, it was a very warm day, and as we pulled into a disabled parking spot, I caught a glimpse of a small dog locked in a very hot car. Poor thing was so drenched, and panting, and so I called the police on my cellphone...next thing I know, police car, and a tow truck...

This makes you wonder about humans! http://www.picpatrol.com/snapshots/200309/pink_shaved_cat.shtml Bev -- God may have created man before woman but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece.

A guy at work has a 16-yr. old cat (at least 16 the vet says). He has 3 teeth and only eats canned food. He only likes Fancy Feast. This co-worker found the cat left in his apartment when he moved in. He took it to the vet and had to get all the shots including rabies, license, etc. and...

Joel thinks its slightly bizarre that I *insist* on tuning into a show - and a weird show that is playin gon our 'community' channel at that - purely by the fact that some cat group on the internet has recommended it. Never the less, I was delighted to discover that "Iron Chef" had finally made it...
